>> yeah, it's great. >> ...in london. >> yeah! >> 91. [ audience cheers ] >> it's gonna be pretty good. i did a dance on a desk. >> unbelievable. >> i didn't fall down. [ laughter ] >> unbelievable. so everyone wants to know, dick, what is it that you do? what's your secret? what's the special sauce that dick van dyke has that i got to get? >> two words -- keep moving. my motivation changes over the years. in my 30's, i exercised, you know, to look good. in my 50's... >> you still look good! >> ...i did it to stay fit. in my 70's, i did it to stay ambulatory [chuckles] and in my 80's, i did it to avoid assisted living. and now i'm just doing it out of pure defiance, that's all. >> that's it. [ audience applauds ] okay. so, a lot of people are gonna look at you and are gonna say, you know, that dick van dyke, it's not exercise, you know what he has? he's got great genetics, that's what he's got on his side. he's just lucky. what do you say to that? >> no, that's not true. i started having a balance problem. you know, you're getting out of the car or tripping over

something. but the thing that's made the biggest difference for me recently is tai cheng. particularly with balance. dr. cheng is so patient. i love the tapes 'cause he takes his time, and he tells you if you have a little balance problem to hold on to a chair, which i did in the beginning. i was shocked at how easy it was to master. dr. cheng developed a unique teaching method that explains in a way that anyone can understand. >> now you're holding a ball. don't hold this to your body like so but hold it off your body rounded. >> he kind of "americanized" learning t'ai chi. you get three viewing angles and a simple foot-placement grid so you know where your feet are gonna go. it's foolproof. believe me, if i can do it, anybody can do it. take it from a guys whose been dealing with aches and pains for over 40 years, it works and i love it. >> so as soon as you started doing tai cheng, what's the thing you noticed the first? >> balance was the first thing and the flexibility. it's amazing how much that's helped me. and my core.

i'm looser in there. as a matter of fact, i'm so loose here now. it's amazing. i have to do something that i believe in, and this i know works. i mean it's worked for centuries. >> right. as a doctor, i have to stress that tai cheng helps you get moving in a way that's safe. there's little to no impact on your joints. but the impact on your physical and emotional well-being is just tremendous. now, t'ai chi has been clinically proven to not only help improve balance and mobility, it also helps reduce stress, improve sleep, and help relieve the pain from arthritis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, and even lower-back pain. and what dr. cheng has done is finally make it easy for everyone to learn t'ai chi, and by incorporating new techniques from modern sports and fitness science, he made tai cheng the perfect program for anyone who wants to regain the movement and the life that they used to have. well, dick, you're a shining example of how we would all love to move at the age of 91.

but there are a lot of people out there who start to lose confidence in their bodies a lot sooner. and for janice, it happened 30 years sooner. >> i felt that retirement would be the time of my life. but all i've been doing is staying in the house, sitting in the chair because i'm afraid. i fell outside one night walking my dog. i've fallen going down the stairs. i have a compression fracture in my back. i feel older than 63 because of the aches and pains that i have. i had to use the stair lift because just going up and down the stairs was painful. i felt isolated. i don't want to continue to let my life pass me by. tai cheng was the perfect solution for me because it was easy on my joints. i like the movement of it. it looks like you're dancing. i like the fact that dr. cheng broke it down step by step. >> step forward, put the foot down, holding a ball, and in. here we go. have that feeling of guiding down with one hand, lifting up with the other. >> my body is stronger, it's

more balanced, more flexible. my dog is full of energy. doing tai cheng helps me feel better about walking him. now i'm climbing stairs without the stair lift. i don't need it anymore. i'm happy now. i'm in control. i can do what i want to do. i'm never going back to the woman on the stair lift again. [ audience cheering ] >> all right. say hello to janice, everybody! >> that's amazing! >> quite a transformation there! how does this make you feel? >> it makes me feel great and it makes me feel very proud. >> wow! >> i'm proud of myself. >> you should be. >> i think your dog needs help, though. >> [ laughing ] yes, he does! [ laughter ] >> he looked awfully stiff. >> you mentioned that you fell a couple of times, and that is so devastating for people because we know that about 1/3 of all people by the age of 65 are gonna fall down, and we know that once they fall, they're two to three times more likely to fall again, which is exactly what happened to you. and by the time we reach age 80,

half of us are going to fall down, so we need to do something about this, and i'm so happy that you did. >> you said it feels like dancing. i just said earlier -- i am a dancer -- and it's a very slow like, underwater ballet. that is one of the things that keeps me at it, because i love to dance. >> what did you find was the most surprising thing you discovered when you started the tai-cheng program? >> i found that it made me more flexible, more confident. i felt great, like i had my independence back again. >> and you looked tremendous going up that staircase. i think everybody here was so happy to see that. >> that was amazing to see! >> absolutely fantastic! >> now if you want to avoid becoming a devastating falling statistic. if you're ready to get off the couch and get back to the active life that slipped away, i recommend that you try tai cheng today. so let's quickly talk about everything that comes in the complete 90-day system. you get five workout dvds that teach you the 18 essential low-impact movements of

t'ai chi, plus amazing health-boosting routines that dr. cheng created to help strengthen muscles, improve mobility, and reduce the risk of injury. you also get $100 in free training tools including this easy does it guidebook. it tells you everything you need to know about the program and the healing powers of tai cheng. now, dr. cheng even created a feel better food plan. it's packed with delicious meal and snack recipes specially designed to fit with the tai-cheng workouts. this easy-to-follow plan promotes healthy weight loss that will make your body feel even better. you also get this convenient tai-cheng wall calendar. it shows you which routine to do each day so there's so confusion or guesswork. having a simple visual plan in front of you is a key to success. and let's not forget about this little miracle, the quick relief foam roller. you use it to gently release kinks and knots in your muscles and joints. you're gonna love using this foam roller. it's kinda like getting a massage without leaving your living room. you also get a strength-training

resistance band that you can use as your progress through the program to help build your strength even faster. they even have non-stick tape so you can create your little foot-placement grid on the floor. it works safely on carpeting, hardwood, or any type of flooring. so, all of this, if you tracked it all down separately, could run you close to $500 dollars, which already made the $120 price beachbody was selling this program for a great deal. but today, if you call the number on your screen or go online, you can get this entire program for only $60. that's half the original price. now, beachbody's gonna break it down into three easy payments of $19.95 at no extra charge. and here's the best part. if you order today, they are extending their regular 30-day money-back guarantee to 90 days. plus, they'll even give you a free $15 upgrade to express shipping. i'm not sure how long beachbody's gonna run this promotion. but if you're even thinking about getting tai cheng, now's the time.

remember, it now comes with a 90-day money-back guarantee. so just try it. i'm telling you, if you have balance and mobility issues or nagging aches and pains, this program can really make a difference. so call the number on your screen now and change your life. it's really that simple. >> take that first step today to a healthier, happier life. make that call right now. >> i'm janice. i'm 65-years old. and i am a real-estate broker. one day, i slipped, and the next thing i knew, i was on the ground. i was really nervous that i had broken something, and i was so embarrassed. the crowds were scary to me all

of a sudden. i've actually taken different routes so that i'm bypassing streets that i'm afraid of. i'm worried about my balance. i really have to do something. when i first found tai cheng, i was shocked at how easy it was. this is something that works perfectly for me. i use the modifier. it just made it easier and made me less nervous. and i used to be a ballet dancer, so for me, i love the movement and i love the way it makes me feel when i'm doing it. dr. cheng is really amazing. it was almost like he was talking directly to me. >> imagine you've got that hook placed in something and you're gonna pull your body towards that hook with the arm. so you're gonna shift, pulling with that arm and then the front-foot toes come up. >> i noticed in a very short time that this program was really helpful with my balance. my core strength is better. i'm just sort of more aware of my body. no crowd makes me nervous now. i run around the city again. i run for a bus. i'm living again. i feel so much more confident.

i cannot imagi m tai cheng. [ audience cheering ] >> welcome back. we're sharing stories from people across the country who've turned back the clock thanks to tai cheng. it's improved their balance, their flexibility, their confidence, and their lives. we went to several different active senior centers and asked folks to give tai cheng a try. >> i like to be as active as possible. >> i decided a long time ago that sedentary isn't part of my language. >> i like to go places. i like to do things, you know. >> tai cheng, i love how easy it is. i love you can do it even if you're not in really great shape. >> i love the movement. i love the smoothness. >> i like how dr. cheng starts out slowly, how he has you do stretches before doing the t'ai-chi movements. >> it's easier on my body but yet i'm getting extra benefits. >> so did tai cheng make a difference in their lives? we sent our special correspondent to find out as they were boarding the bus for a whale-watching excursion.

[ cheering ] >> hi! [ chuckles ] who's ready for a big adventure? [ chuckles ] i hear you guys really like tai cheng. >> oh yes! dr. cheng makes it so easy. >> you feel younger. you just have that zest that you had. >> why is it so important you have good balance and flexibility? >> because we don't want to fall. >> i don't want to break a hip. >> to be active, to dance like you do. [ laughter ] >> i need it. [ laughter ] you're gonna get on a whale boat. do you feel like your balance has improved? >> it makes me feel great! makes me feel more confident when i walk. >> we love tai cheng! >> glad to hear it. me too! off to your adventure. say hi to the whales. [ cheering ] have fun. >> so, how many things are you missing out on because you've lost confidence in your body? tai cheng is the perfect program for anyone of any age and any

fitness level who wants to improve their balance, their flexibility, and their life. and to prove it, take a look at this. >> my name's donna. i'm 62. my balance has always been bad, but the last few years, it's been a major concern. i fell, broke my arm. i have a herniated disk from falls that i've taken over the years. last year, i was running for a bus, actually fell on my head. it was a serious injury, so my kids and my husband are very worried about me. my grandchildren are a part of my everyday life, and sometimes i just can't keep up with them. this is my life, if i don't start living it now, the clock's ticking. tai cheng was a no-brainer. the fact that it targeted my age group. i mean the modifier makes you able to do everything. >> it might be a good idea to have a chair on standby if you need it. >> dr. cheng is phenomenal. >> i know that i'm nagging you a lot about posture but it's for

your own good. >> when you get older, you need someone that's going to walk you through it slowly. tai cheng movements are fun. i feel like i'm dancing. the calendar is excellent because there's so many things going on in my life, i tend to lose track. with tai cheng, my body is much more mobile. i am much more steady on my feet. i'm more flexible, and i'm able to run and play with my grandkids now. i love this program so much because it's built my confidence tremendously. i was given a second chance to not be an old person. >> all right, ladies and gentlemen, donna, everybody! wow. you know, what i find so interesting about your story is that, you'd fallen a number of times, right? and when you were a little younger, you broke your elbow and then, as we start to get older, we lose that ability to catch ourselves. and that happens, and then ultimately, you fell and you hit your head, and that must have been very scary. >> that was an eye-opener. that's where this program helped

me so much. i mean, i now have no fear of walking, running. my biggest concern was keeping up with my little babies. i can crawl with them, play with them. they don't have to pick grandma up anymore. i feel sturdy on my feet. i feel younger. >> and you look great too, right? doesn't she look great? [ audience cheering ] >> your kids are great, but you don't look like a grandma. >> oh, i'm a grandma. [ both laugh ] >> well, now it's time to restore your balance and start living again with tai cheng. and right now is the perfect time to get started because beachbody has a great offer available for everyone who is watching this show, right now. if you call today, this complete life-changing system is now only three easy payments of $19.95. remember, you not only get all the step-by-step instruction from dr. cheng showing you how to learn t'ai chi, this program also comes with a complete 90-day food plan, a quick relief foam roller to gently release all the kinks and knots in your muscles and joints, and a strength-training resistance

band. no other t'ai chi class includes those things. and you know what else no other t'ai chi class comes with? a 90-day money-back guarantee. so if you're ready to get your life back, today, you can do it risk free. you just need to call before the time runs out on this great deal. >> please do yourself a favor. this is supposed to be the best time of your life! make it as good as it can be with tai cheng. >> i was on my way to my son's wedding. and all of a sudden, my feet just went out from under me, and i just knew at that moment that something was terribly wrong. >> i've fallen once or twice because my toes dragged. i sure as hell don't want to

fall and break something at my age, and so i use a cane. most people, they just run and walk and never think about it. when i walk, i'm now thinking about it. you shouldn't have to think to walk. right now, i go to get groceries, i can only get a little bit because i got a cane, and i'd like to be able to not use a cane. i'd like to be able to be confident in walking. >> the last thing i ever want to do is be dependent on somebody. and the last thing i ever want to do is not to be able to do something. >> if this would improve my balance problem, well, it's something i'd love to try. >> i mean, i couldn't stand on one foot without holding on. i can do all of that now. i am much more aware of my posture. i'm walking with more confidence. i like when dr. cheng has a segment when you can pull an exercise out and you get specific instructions. >> now from here, the top hand's gonna come down as the bottom hand comes up and around. just like you've got two ropes and you're playing double dutch. >> what's really nice about it is we can do it anytime during

the day and we can do it in our own home. our seven-year-old granddaughter said the other day to my wife, she said, "grandma, he's walking much better. he's walking without a cane!" so right now, it looks like i'm not thinking about walking. now i can actually go to the store without a cane. the more and more flexibility i have, the more and more balance i have, enables us to live life to the fullest. >> when i loose and i feel good and i can move around, i just have a better outlook on my life. [ cheers and applause ] >> welcome back. we're here with the legendary dick van dyke, and we're hearing stories from people across america who say that thanks to tai cheng, they have their balance back, they're flexible again, and they feel strong and confident. >> "confident." that's so important. i've seen so many of my friends who just retreat from life because they lose confidence in their bodies. and a thing like that doesn't have to happen.

tai cheng gave me the confidence to be able to do everything that i love to do. it helps you to get moving, and fast. >> that's right. and as a doctor, dick, i can tell you, you have to stress that tai cheng helps you get moving in a way that's safe. there is little to no impact on your joints, but the impact on your physical and emotional well-being is just tremendous, just like it was for our next guest. >> my name is cathy. i'm 74 years old. i am a retired nurse. i did have an accident. i fell from the top of the stairs to the bottom of the stairs, was unconscious and flown by helicopter to the hospital, had a subdural hematoma, and a little bleed into the brain, a broken left elbow, and so balance is a big concern for me. it would be the worst thing in the world not to be able to walk or to move or to play. traditional exercise, fitness programs, they're fast, they're aggressive sometimes, you're just keeping up. and in contrast, you have tai cheng which is slow,

it's calm. he explains things so easily in a step-by-step manner. >> imagine your hands are on a roll-top desk and you want to close that roll top desk. you're gonna pull that roll-top back as you shift back turning the hips, and you're gonna close it at the top. >> my balance is now better. it's not as scary coming down a tall flight of stairs. i love to garden, i love to be out there. sometimes, you have to use a ladder. because i've been using tai cheng, i feel much more confident in using a ladder. when you're playing tennis, lateral movement is very important. thanks to tai cheng, i feel more confident. i want to be the poster child for older age. [ laughs ] [ audience cheering ] >> welcome, cathy! good to see you. >> thank you. >> wow, you know, i kinda feel like, you know, we are kindred spirits, right? i'm an emergency-room doctor and you're a nurse, and you know, it must have struck you when you had your accident, "oh, my goodness, i'm one of those people that i've taken care of."

>> absolutely. absolutely. and i took it very seriously. and i felt like i wanted to be pro-active so that i could live the best possible life. >> what was it about the tai-cheng program that appealed to you so much? >> it was explained so easily. i had seen t'ai chi before, and i thought, "i will never be able to do that," but dr. cheng explains everything step-by-step. it's a fantastic program. >> i know you're very active playing tennis. lateral movement, so important. you know, when you step out of the shower, when you get out of your car, that's a lateral movement. and if those hip stabilizers aren't strong, if you're not flexible, if your core isn't what it needs to be, which is what's at the center of the tai-cheng program, you can fall. when you know the statistics, you know that about 1/3 of people this year over the age of 65 will fall. we know once you fall, you're two to three times more likely to fall again. so here you are in your 70's, that confidence, do you have it

back now that you've been doing the program? >> i have it back, and one of the wonderful things about dr. cheng is he just explains to you how your body should be in alignment, and when your body is in alignment, your balance is so much better. i feel really blessed to have been able to take advantage of this. >> well, you look good, you feel good, and you're preventing a fall from happening to you in the future, and that's the most important thing. ladies and gentleman, cathy! [ audience cheers ] >> ok, well if you're at home and you're still on the fence about whether this program is right for you, i can assure you if you're having balance and mobility issues, this is the perfect time to do something about it. all you need to do is call the number on your screen right now and get tai cheng at this incredibly low price. and beachbody is even going to extend their regular 30-day money-back guarantee to 90 full days so you can literally experience the entire program, and if you're not 100% satisfied for any reason, you're gonna get your money back, but i'm telling

you, this program really works. you've seen the proof, right here today! >> i can tell you it's one of the best program i've ever done. thanks to dr. cheng, i'm 91, i'm singing, dancing every day, still working. i'm still able to workout every day, and it's all because i improved my balance, my flexibility, and my strength. so please do yourself a favor, this is supposed to be the best time of your life! >> you're right, dick. and right now is the perfect time to get started because beachbody has a great offer available for everyone who's watching this show right now. >> if you're still wondering if tai cheng is right for you, stop and listen to me right now. as an emergency-medicine physician, if you're having

issues with balance or mobility, please don't wait for something bad to happen, pick up the phone today and give tai cheng a try. i promise it will change your life. >> announcer: the preceding was a paid advertisement for tai cheng brought to you by tai cheng brought to you by beachbody.
